Vadivelu to campaign for DMK

Comedian Vadivelu met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi today and pledged his support for DMK in the upcoming Tamil Nadu State Legislative Elections. The actor, after announcing his decision in the presence of the Chief Minister, also assured that he would travel around Tamil Nadu to campaign for DMK candidates. Kollywood sources reveal the move was to step up pressure against Vijayakanth, who is in the opposition alliance and also on bitter terms with Vadivelu.

Two years ago, Vadivelu had filed a police complaint against Vijayakanth after a group of men, alleged to be associated with Vijayakanth, attacked Vadivelu's house. The feud has its roots in 2007, when Vadivelu clashed with Vijayakanth's men over a parking issue.
